Jul 08, 2019 Understanding Push/Fold Equilibrium Charts. It must be noted that the charts below are intended explicitly for heads-up play. Therefore, for games with more than 2 players, the shove tables below are applicable for SB open-shoving ranges, and the call chart below are relevant only for BB situations vs a SB shove. To shove means to go all-in, putting all of your chips in the pot. A shove is also known as a jam or push. A shove is also known as a jam or push. “I shoved with my last $200 on the river.”.

These charts are meant to be used for study purposes. Make sure to check the Terms and Conditions of the sites that you play on to see if this is against the rules to use any of these while you’re in a poker game. If it is against the TOC of the game you are in, you should not use these tools while you play.
OK, so this can be a good time to swat up on our NASH push fold ranges for when we are short stacked in tournaments, we have constructed 8 charts which show profitable shoves from all the positions on a nine-handed table…
UTG Ranges
So it’s fairly common for players with 10 Big Blinds to think that any pair is an All in, however as we can see from this chart that includes antes of 12.5% pairs 22 and 33 are actually -EV for us to move all in with.
Another big mistake are shoves from small Aces, suited or Off suit are all -EV until we get to hands as strong as A7s+ and A9o+.
Our Range: 44+ A7s+ A9o+ QJs+ KTs+ & KQo+
Biggest mistakes are players thinking hands like KT0 and QTo are shoving, from this position we want to have a solid range, even with just 10 Big Blinds.
UTG+1
This is where things already start to change a little bit with 33 now becoming a Jam, and we can start to shove some suited connectors like T9s+.
KJo is still very borderline so you could look to move in with this hand if you think players will be calling too light for example.
Our Range: 33+ A4s+ ATo+ KJo+ K9s+ Q9s+ J9s+ T9s+
Next, we are going to look at how our ranges open up as we get to the Mid-Position.
MP1 (Mid Position 1)
This is where 22 starts to get a borderline shove and so too do hands like T8s and A3s.
Our Range: 22+ A3s+ ATo+ KJo+ K9s+ Q9s+ J9s+ T8s+ 98s+
MP2 (Mid Position 2)
This is where we can start adding in some offsuit aces and any suited Ace is a profitable move. Its when we start getting closer to the blinds, now far less players to get through we can start opening our range a little more…

This is really when we start to get going, late Mid-Postion and the Cut off is where we open up and start shoving some borderline hands!
MP3 (Mid Position 3)
Hands like 22 and KTo are now much more profitable from this position and once pretty borderline suited connector Jams are now printing EV.
Our Range: 22+ A2s+ A3o+ KTo+ K9s+ QT0+ Q9s+ JT0+ J8s+ T8s+ 97s+ 87s+ 76s+
CO (Cut Off)
This is where we can really start to widen our ranges, with even hands like Q6s becoming part of our All in wagering range.

Our Range: 22+ A2o+ A2s+ K9o+ K4s+ QTo+ Q6s+ JT0+ J7s+ T7s+ 97s+ 86s+ 76s+ 65s+
The Widest of all our ranges in late position, it’s time to look at Button and Small Blind Jams.
BTN (Button)
Even hands like K5o, Q3s and 64s are going to be gamble worthy on the Button, with just two players left to get through we can push them off a huge portion of their range, as players aren’t going to call ten big blinds with any old hand, they will need a solid part of their range to want to gamble for a 20bb pot!
Our Range: 22+ A2o+ A2s+ K2o+ K2s+ Q2o+ Q2s+ J9o+ J6s+ T9o+ T6s+ 96s+ 85s+ 75s+ 64s+ 54s+
SB (Small Blind)
The last of all our possible shoving positions, we are not always just going to want to shove from this position, you can view our guide to playing from the small blind for some slightly deeper stacked play, however we are just looking at unexploitable shoves today, so our range to move all in from the SB is going to be wide, as we only have to make one player fold. Let’s take a look:
Our Range: 22+ A2o+ A2s+ K5o+ K2s+ Q9o+ Q3s+ J4o+ J2s+ T6o+ T2s+ 96o+ 93s+ 86o+ 84s+ 76o+ 74s+ 650+ 63s+ 53s+ 43s+
As you can see we are shoving a huge portion of our range here, including any high card combination of hands with a Jack in them or higher and then nearly all suited hands from 43s+, pretty much the only combinations of hands we are not going to be jamming with are offsuit combinations with low cards.
Sum Up
To sum up as you can see from working through all these ranges there is a big drop off when it comes to non-suited hands, suited hands will always have a lot more value than the offsuit combinations. A big example of this is from UTG+1 we will profitably be able to shove with A4s+ but the offsuit aces we will move in with is only ATo+. That is a huge difference, these are the subtle points of knowing your ranges, it can be a good idea to print these off and have them above your grind station.
In coming posts we are going to look up some 6 handed charts for you to refresh your knowledge with.
